The fresh Tan mutton was cooked in the kettle until it was cooked through, but the cow shackle couldn't wait, so he directly used his sword and fork to take out the copper cut he carried with him and began to cut into pieces.

"You guy, you have just killed someone with this sword, and you haven't wiped off the blood, how can you use it to insert meat! Not too dirty? ”

The tiger on the side was so angry that he screamed, but the killer cow sheath seemed to be deliberately angry with him, raised his sword very arrogantly, stretched out his bright red tongue, licked away the remaining Hun blood on the blade, and said with a smile:

"When did the people who fell into the tiger house become as clean as the little woman? Isn't it the blood of the Hu people? It's similar to sheep's blood, and you're kind enough to let you taste it, but you're not even happy. ”

"That's it."

Fu Zhi grabbed the tiger Luohuai, who was about to jump up, and persuaded: "Just now we went to inspect and encountered the Hun rangers, if we didn't kill the bull shackle to intercept it, I'm afraid those Huns would have fled, Brother Paoze, don't hurt the harmony because of trivial things......"

"Who is his brother?" The tiger fell and the cow shackled in unison.

Fu Zhi shook his head helplessly, regardless of the quarrel between the two, he did it himself, and sandwiched the mutton cut from the cow shackle into the soft pot helmet soaked in the soup.

The hot noodle fragrance brings the meat aroma to the extreme, and the greasy fat of the fat sheep is absorbed by the pot helmet and turned into invisible, fragrant, crispy, and soft, and it is very enjoyable to eat.

Looking at the eating faces of these two Rong people, and then looking at the campfire behind him that was not extinguished all night, Fu Zhi tightened the armor on his body, and recalled everything that happened today, only feeling like a dream.

Huluohuai is the eldest son of the Dayuan Rong Huluo clan, and the eldest grandson of the Niu clan has a grudge for generations, last year the two tribes also had a fight, and many people died, fortunately they were stopped by the Northland County Lieutenant, and let them use the "tug-of-war" This fresh way to decide the pasture and water source belongs.

And this year, the five divisions of Dayuan Rong have no effort to fight at all, and a thousand young and strong children have all been conscripted as Rong cavalry, and they will go out with the captain of Heifu County, and even the hundred people who were arrested for "private fighting" have also been included in the dead soldiers, galloping first, taking five days' food, and the heel army is in front.

No, after arriving at Huamachi, I found that the Huns added up before and after, I am afraid that there are two thousand horsemen, the number is superior, and the heel army leads the white wolf of Changyiqu will not be stupid enough to be one enemy and two, so he led more than 1,000 horsemen to camp next to the salt pond and confront the Huns twenty miles away.

Among them, the city of Yanrong, which was looking forward to the stars and the moon, was brightly lit at the moment to prevent the Huns from attacking at night.

The Huns did not know the exact number of the Qin army, and they also roamed cautiously, neither daring to rashly attack the city, nor being able to cross the city, risking the risk of being attacked by the enemy on their backs to attack the Qin army, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Although the large forces confronted each other, the rangers on both sides kept sending cavalry: the Qin army kept sending the cavalry to Huamachi City to get in touch, with a posture of internal and external echoes, while the Huns wanted to let the cavalry go deeper to the south to see if the Qin army had a follow-up force.

In the process, the two sides collided many times, and each suffered casualties. Fu Zhi, as the commander of the knights of the hundred good families, also participated in the battle, and for the first time, he observed how the Huns fought at close range.

In Fu Zhi's eyes, the Huns were much more barbaric than all the Rong tribes in Beidi County. They were naturally ugly, with stubby limbs, a large torso, large heads, looped legs, and the lines of their whole bodies were like those of a crappy craftsman who had cut out of an old tree root with an axe.

Judging from a Xiongnu outpost stronghold destroyed by their 300 cavalry, the Huns ate half-cooked animal meat, and the soup was grass roots dug up in the ground, or fermented sour mare's milk, which was boiled directly on the leather bag.

They wore rough sheepskin jackets or ratskin robes, and the stench of the seized garments was so bad that they were probably put on and never washed or changed until they were tattered.

What shocked Fu Zhi was that he thought that his riding skills were already quite good, even if they were out of the fortress this time, the county lieutenant did not allow them to use stirrups and high saddles, but they were still no less than any Beidi Rong people.

It wasn't until he fought with the Huns that he knew what a real people on horseback was.

The Hun cavalry who fought with them seemed to grow on a horse, and without stirrups, they could make all kinds of difficult movements, or gallop away from the bow, or turn back sharply to shoot arrows, all in one go. The Huns they hunted and killed, only a dozen people, played hundreds of people, chased for a long time, and relied on the Rong people to outflank them before they were killed!

And the tactics of these Huns also made Fu Zhi feel amazing, he thought that this group of Rong Di did not know the art of war, only had some brute strength and natural cavalry shooting. The result was an eye-opener for him: during the confrontation, the Hun rangers rarely lined up in a neat formation, sometimes scattered, sometimes gathered, came and went like the wind, often rushed to the front of their own side when they were unprepared, opened their bows and shot and then quickly left.

"Its speed is like the wind, and the aggression is like fire......" Fu Zhi secretly read this sentence, and the four things that the county lieutenant asked Liangjiazi to do, the Huns were born to be the same.

This group of people seemed to know how to play with cavalry by nature, and in the distance they shot arrows quickly and with amazing accuracy, and if they got close, they would use stone daggers or bronze swords to fight the enemy, and they would suddenly throw out the rope noose, binding the Qin people to the ground, unable to move.

After a day of contact, Fu Zhi already understood that he had encountered a very terrible enemy, and if he did not rely on a high saddle and stirrups, it would be difficult for Liangjiazi to compete with him on horseback.

The only weakness of the Huns was their poor weaponry.

Fu Zhi glanced at the three-foot-long iron sword in his hand, which was forged by the batch of Kanto craftsmen sent to Beidi County by Shaofu, and there was a large iron mine in Yiju Township, Niyang County, the hometown of his friend Gan Chong. For months, there was billowing smoke, thousands of iron officials and slaves opened mines and smelted iron, and the molten iron was filled with iron weapons that were common in Kanto but relatively rare in Kansai, and the first people to equip them were Liangjiazi.

And the Huns, not to mention iron, even bronze is very scarce, the general Huns cavalry, most of the weapons used are wooden, even the most important arrow clusters, are also made of bone and stone. Although it was sharpened, Hugh said that the thick armor, they couldn't even shoot the hard pot helmet that Fu Zhi was carrying behind him......

"So this thing can really be used as a shield." Fu Zhi decided to tell them the good news when his two comrades, Qiang Hua and Gan Chong, arrived.

"Whew!"

While he was thinking about it, suddenly, a rapid horn sounded from two miles outside the camp, but it stopped abruptly! It's as if something has cut off the voice!

But it was not enough to kill a sentry horseman, as if it were a relay, and a continuous trumpet sounded in the southwest of the camp.

"Ahh

The three people who were feasting immediately became alert, Fu straightened up, stepped on the campfire with a few feet, and then arched his hand towards the cattle slaughterer and tiger locust who shared the food, pinched the sword, walked towards the camp of the good family, put the copper whistle in his mouth, and blew it with all his might.

"Hun night attack! Good family! Gather! ”

……

Three days later, the Heel Army led the Changyiqu White Wolf Dynasty to report to the Northland County Lieutenant, who arrived two days earlier than expected:

"Dare to say that the weather is sunny these days, and you can see people at night, and the Huns try to send people to launch a surprise attack every night. But they were all discovered in time by the sentinels arranged by the subordinates, and the Huns did not do it brutally, and after some trying, they found that our army was on guard, and they pierced the antlers of the cavalry on the periphery, so they quickly retreated. ”

The head of the black man, this Gongsun and Yiqu both have some skills, Gongsun Bailu can be civil and martial, has a strategy, and can rest assured to be alone, and Yiqu White Wolf is worthy of being a cavalry general who has fought with Zhao and Chu Che Cavalry, and is very experienced in using soldiers, and a thousand horsemen face twice their own Huns, they bluffed, dragged them for three days, and waited until they arrived with four thousand foot soldiers.

Although the Xiongnu also continued to have reinforcements from the Helan grassland, the orders were different, all according to the tribe, sparse and sparse, and now there are only more than 3,000 horsemen. Seeing that the Qin army had come to a large area of black pressure again, the various departments either had the intention of letting others go first, hesitated for a while, and did not dare to attack again.

In his early years, Heifu learned a tactic from Wang Jian called "bullying others". After he arrived at Huamachi, relying on his large number of people, he was unequivocal, and immediately let more than 5,000 horsemen cooperate, slowly pushed forward, pushed the position to the bottom of Huamachi City, and joined Yan Yanjun and Wu Shiyan in the city.

"In this way, plus the Rong people who can fight in the city, there are already 8,000 people, if it is another six or seven days, when the Gongsun County Lieutenant who transports the baggage arrives, the number will be nearly 10,000!"

Qiang Hua has acted as Heifu's personal guard in the past few days, but he has already been gearing up and only thinking about going to the front line to fight, and after coming to Huamachi, he heard Fu Zhi talk about the confrontation with the Huns in recent days, and he couldn't hold it back, and the battalion was set down, so he began to shout:

"Great, in this way, you can fight a decisive battle with the Huns!"

"A decisive battle?"

Heifu was discussing the next battle strategy with the Yiqu White Wolf, and when he heard this, he shook his head helplessly, pointed at Qiang Hua and said: "Sure enough, even if it is out of the plug and blows the wind and sand, in essence, it is still the tender grass in the plug." ”

"It's young people, after all."

Yiqu White Wolf smiled and bowed his head, which made Qiang Hua's face red, and bowed down: "If the subordinate has said something wrong, please ask the county lieutenant and the commander to give advice!" ”

The pointing is false, and the unconvinced is true.

Hefu closed the map and asked, "Tell me, what is the key to this battle?" ”

"Defeat the Huns, of course!" Qiang Hua said as a matter of course.

"How to beat?"

"On the battlefield, of course!"

In Qiang Hua's imagination, it should be that the two sides set up a position and have a rumbling duel, the chariots galloped, the cavalry hedged, and finally their own side won a big victory, annihilating the Huns in one fell swoop......

Heifu said: "The Huns, like us, are also divided into several waves to help, basically increasing by hundreds a day, and when our army sets up camp with its back against the city, and waits for the baggage, the Huns may have reached 5,000 people, I heard Chen Ping and Wu Shiyan say, this is also the total number of cavalry that Helan can produce." ”

With 10,000 enemies against 5,000, it seems to have an advantage, but the commander of the Huns is not stupid, and he wants to put on a posture and outnumber the enemy. These people are not stupid, but cunning hunters on the grasslands, who have developed a unique set of tactics in countless hunting and fighting with nature.

In Chen Ping's words, it is "if you are profitable, you will advance, if you are unfavorable, you will retreat, and you will not be ashamed to leave".

In the case of later generations, it is "fight if you can fight, and run if you can't fight". Aren't they like the nobles of the Chu State, who committed suicide in shame because they ran away and retreated? Inexistent.

The mobility of the Xiongnu is much stronger than that of the Qin army, and the sentinel cavalry is all over the four fields, as soon as the Qin army moves, it can immediately retreat, and wait for the Qin army to separate the infantry and cavalry, the battle line is elongated, and then wait for the opportunity to turn back and strike, at that time, the winning side is on the side of the Xiongnu.

So the initiative in this battle is not in the hands of Heifu.

At least on a tactical level......

If you want to win this battle, you have to rely on strategy.

Heifu got up and came to the tent, they set out at the end of September, and now it was the beginning of October, and in the calendar, another year had passed, and now it was the beginning of the twenty-ninth year of Qin Shi Huang......

The weather outside the city is getting colder and colder.

In the bleak north wind, Heifu said slowly: "I have heard a saying that the snow will fly in August, although it is not so exaggerated, but by November at the latest, the first snow will fall." ”

"Although the Huns endure bitterness and hunger, they are not iron-clad. Within a radius of 500 miles, Huamachi is the only densely populated place where you can ride more than 10,000 steps for winter supplies. This means that within a month, if the Huns cannot seize this place, they can only retreat to Shenquan Mountain, which is 200 miles away, or 300 miles away, by the big river for wintering. ”

After pointing out the most critical point of this war, Heifu turned back and said: "At that time, whoever controls Huamachi and occupies Huamachi will be the victor in this war!" ”

"Now, Yan Yanrong has returned to Qin, and our army is stationed with its back to the city, and the inside and outside are each other's horns, and there is no shortage of water and food."

Heifu smiled: "So it will not be us who should be in a hurry to fight, but the Huns!" ”
